Sure I have a lot of tools, it has taken me years and many great Craigslist deals to build up my shop. Don't let that be an excuse for you to not get out there and build something, grab some construction-grade Lumber and you can build this loft bed too for about 40 bucks!
i think a lot of what you did in this video others without the same tools will have to find workarounds. For example the dowels, you really need a proper jig or else you might as well forget it. but instead of dowels pocket holes would also work quite well.
Hehe you're right! Thanks for owning this and keeping up the motivation for the rest us! I was just about to give up! But lots of timber merchants even cut pieces to length for people 🤗 even local DIY neighbours like you might lend a hand x
My dad built a bed for me back in the late seventies that was not a loft but a captains style which hinged along the wall (piano hinge) and had ropes suspending the other side with block & tackle. At the head he built a bookcase that went floor to ceiling. Something really cool about dads building for their children. His shop wasn't as neat & as organized as yours, but he certainly knew what he was doing and designed it all himself.
My dad's building me a loft bed it cost about $100 dollars but he needed extra wood for stabilization we also bought 4 cans of spray paint, a new saw blade, sand paper, and dry wall.
From your video I finally understand why most people in US screw directly to the wall. I always wondered how does it hold lol, because you have wood inside your walls, we have solid brick walls in UK so when people directly screw to the wall didn't make sense to me. Thanks for the explanation.
Amazon. I bought one for my son for a couple hundred bucks. The headboard came with a ding and my wife said she wanted it replaced even though it was on the inside and it would never be seen. I called the company and asked them to replace it and they never responded. Filed an Amazon Prime claim and the seller never responded. Amazon gave me a full refund even though it was only a small ding. Then I reached out to the actual manufacturer and they sent me the replacement part for free no questions asked I did not get the satisfaction of building in myself of course
I really hope your son enjoys it! 😀 I have one myself! (Made form a Ikea bunk bed We just didn’t put the bottom bunk in lol) personally it helps me sleep better.
Angela the kittydog OwO wow I’m so dumb I’m looking for a loft bed and found a good one in Ikea except it has a bottom bunk but I can just not build that xD
Hi Tyler while my children have all grown up now. I think this is a great idea. Thinking out side of the box to work in a cape stile house. Having lived in a Cape stile house I could see where this would work great. The other idea you could think of instead of putting a sleep away bed underneath how about building some storage under it? just a thought.. I do like your work. I have also seen a number of sites where folks love you chop saw style bench. It is a real hit with fellow workworkers..
Hey, great build and thanks for sharing. Tyler, though you made this video 4 yrs ago, wondering how it's holding up. Have you had to add any further supports as your son grows up? What would you think the load capacity of such a bed might be (or better put) how much would you trust to it?).
Nice design! I recently sold one of those deros sanders (flipped for profit) and man those things are sweet! I was very tempted to keep it for myself lol
Is this safe? It looks so flimsy with nothing but a few screws holding the bed up. Won't constant going up and down the ladder pull the screws from the walls?
Olá!você explica bem,assisti muitos videos,mas esse pra mim é o melhor,sua oficina é perfeita!peço que use a legenda em português-Brasil.Grata e sucesso!
As always great video Tyler. I have 2 questions for you. First what kind of table saw do you have? And second what type of Merrell shoes are those? I now use the tool pouch that you have, when I'm in my shop, it is very handy and I love it, thank you for that tip. I very much enjoy watching your videos so thank you and keep them coming.
Thanks Tyler. I am going to be upgrading my table saw shortly to Delta from Lowe's. I currently have a Craftsman one that I got for Christmas over 10 years ago.
I browse many sites and videos looking for a perfect fit for my children room, I'm planing to keeping this a couple of years, how many pounds so you think this loft bed can handle? My son is only 39 pounds, but probably in 3-4 year will be double. Did you think that will work? Nice job btw and thank you!
Tyler, love the channel I usually look to your videos to get ideas or make sure I’m doing things correctly. Over the years I’ve purchased a lot of Ridgid power tools. I didn’t want to jump on the dewalt wagon... after some years now I have finish off some battery’s and tools. I’ve done all the above with them, send in copy of receipt (BS) follow through with emails to insure I’m covered....and yet still...can’t get replacements.... now I just recently bought a brushless set (worthless!) still was not happy so I’ve now started buying dewalt tools. I tried Ridgid (cordless power tools) for bout 8 years now was happy at first, now at 38 years old having to start buying all over again (dewalt) I ask myself why did I leave them to start.... Do you have trouble with the tools/battery’s also? Granted I know you’re being sponsored but a honest reply would be appreciated.
Mike, I used RIDGID tools a long time before they approached me, all bought with my own money. Fortunately I have have never had to bring a tool in or request new batteries. Granted I have not used them quite as long as you but even after 6+ years my oldest batteries and tools are still going strong. Even the team at RIDGID admits that their method for registering used to suck but they have been working hard at steadily improving it and as of late it is quite good. They requested a bunch of us Ambassadors test the new site and it was pretty straightforward. I get that it is a pain but understand how many people do try and scam them by taking advantage of they warranty policy. Have been to their warehouses where they replace batteries and test tools and it's quite impressive, it is true and you are not being thrown for a loop, they do replace even their old Nicad batteries that you still might have! Hope I might have helped a bit!
That is great project for the MAN CHILD. I wonder if THE WIFE has a clever nickname for you. I admit that I felt a bit of clamp envy when you pulled out the big parallel clamp. I have some long pipe clamps and I remember that they are a pain in the neck to store; my envy faded away.
Sure I have a lot of tools, it has taken me years and many great Craigslist deals to build up my shop. Don't let that be an excuse for you to not get out there and build something, grab some construction-grade Lumber and you can build this loft bed too for about 40 bucks!

No excuses! Love the video.
Hehe you're right! Thanks for owning this and keeping up the motivation for the rest us! I was just about to give up! But lots of timber merchants even cut pieces to length for people 🤗 even local DIY neighbours like you might lend a hand x
Hello, excuse me, I have a question, how do I make this loft bed but for an adult?
This is the cleanest and most organized carpentry workplace I’ve ever seen!!! Awsome! Keep the good job bro.
My dad built a bed for me back in the late seventies that was not a loft but a captains style which hinged along the wall (piano hinge) and had ropes suspending the other side with block & tackle. At the head he built a bookcase that went floor to ceiling.
Something really cool about dads building for their children. His shop wasn't as neat & as organized as yours, but he certainly knew what he was doing and designed it all himself.
Love to see the whole family involved in your various projects. A great gift you and your wife are giving to your children...be doers!!
Best dad in the world : priceless :-)
can’t wait till I do this for my daughters room, she will love it, thanks dude
Great project! I got a kick out of the phrase "the first of it being the ladder".
Lol! I see what you did there!! 😂
My dad's building me a loft bed
it cost about $100 dollars but he needed extra wood for stabilization
we also bought 4 cans of spray paint, a new saw blade, sand paper, and dry wall.
Yes sir your working station is so cool,clean,
Really enjoyed this video! I am sifting through videos to get inspiration for a custom "floating" 2 tiered guinea pig cage.
Love the video. Cost effective, minimalist look, nice, clean, perfect! Thx
Nice solution for the space that the bed is in. I really love the angles you put on the vertical pieces as well as the curves in the rails.
Thanks Josh! We are super pleased, going to carry the design to other pieces in the house.
From your video I finally understand why most people in US screw directly to the wall. I always wondered how does it hold lol, because you have wood inside your walls, we have solid brick walls in UK so when people directly screw to the wall didn't make sense to me. Thanks for the explanation.
What no Casper advertisement? This channel must have some integrity.
I have watched a few times and am missing when the lip that the mattress slats rest on is added.
Yes he completely forgot to talk about that. I'm looking for that too!
Nice job. I bet your son is going to love it.
Now how do I do it without all those fancy tools?
Use lumber from the home center, jig saw and circular saw and you can build the same thing.
Amazon. I bought one for my son for a couple hundred bucks. The headboard came with a ding and my wife said she wanted it replaced even though it was on the inside and it would never be seen. I called the company and asked them to replace it and they never responded. Filed an Amazon Prime claim and the seller never responded. Amazon gave me a full refund even though it was only a small ding. Then I reached out to the actual manufacturer and they sent me the replacement part for free no questions asked
I did not get the satisfaction of building in myself of course
Can i use screws instead of dowels
Any chance you have this in a full size dimension?
What a nice addition to your son's room. I can see he is going to love this one!
Very nice, next time you have a curve like that try a pattern bit and template and see if its faster with a router.
Nice build Tyler, that loft bed is not going anywhere!!! I bet your son loves it too. ☺👍👍
I really hope your son enjoys it! 😀 I have one myself! (Made form a Ikea bunk bed We just didn’t put the bottom bunk in lol) personally it helps me sleep better.
Wait you can buy an Ikea bunk bed and not put in the bottom bunk?!
Arina& zara yeah just build the thing and not put the bottom railing in
Angela the kittydog OwO wow I’m so dumb I’m looking for a loft bed and found a good one in Ikea except it has a bottom bunk but I can just not build that xD
Arina& zara yeah
Angela the kittydog OwO xD
Like always, awesome build. Might just have to add this project to my list...
Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
what is the chance that it will fall burst?
what did you use to fasten the support beams along the frame that later serve as a lip for the mattress supports?
Hi Tyler while my children have all grown up now. I think this is a great idea. Thinking out side of the box to work in a cape stile house. Having lived in a Cape stile house I could see where this would work great.

Is it okay to not using a pilar in the wall side? I am less than 50kilos
40$ loft bed!!
(provide power tools)
I liked it! New sub 🔥
So love this for my son bed room thank you for the idea
Hey, great build and thanks for sharing. Tyler, though you made this video 4 yrs ago, wondering how it's holding up. Have you had to add any further supports as your son grows up? What would you think the load capacity of such a bed might be (or better put) how much would you trust to it?).
I love this video man, great.
Nice design! I recently sold one of those deros sanders (flipped for profit) and man those things are sweet! I was very tempted to keep it for myself lol
Do you have any suggestion 😢 i want to build loft bed, but my wall is weak 🫠 so idk if the wall could hold it or not...
Ah Gosh I wish I had all those tools and machinery... or could rent out a place like yours for a few hours hahah
Another great project, Tyler!
Very nice build. Thanks for sharing
Great job! I'm sure he loves his new bed!
Great video man.
Nice easy project! Thanks for sharing Tyler.
Do u think this would work with a full size bed
Nice simple project....good job !!!
What's the weight capacity?
What wheight can hold this bed ?
Great job Tyler
nice cool project congratulations my kids will love ... ✌😉👍
Perfect my Friends!!!!! Good job
Great job Tyler , good to see this project . 👍👍👍
Nice work Tyler! 👍👊
Is this safe? It looks so flimsy with nothing but a few screws holding the bed up. Won't constant going up and down the ladder pull the screws from the walls?
Corner bottom bunk would miss the heat register if that’s the way the space works...
Dang Ashe looks great in there! Nice build Tyler!
Cool stuff, Tyler.
good job! this is perfect and customize space i love it!
Olá!você explica bem,assisti muitos videos,mas esse pra mim é o melhor,sua oficina é perfeita!peço que use a legenda em português-Brasil.Grata e sucesso!
how high is your ceiling?
Jackpot!!!! Thank you!
Good to hear!!
Fab dad!
Why did you choose dowels instead of using ur mortiser? Ive been thinking of building one
Right on - great simple build
Hi, I never record my plans for the loft bed. I used pay pal on your website and used my email but have not gotten the plans yet. Can you help?
Great video, what size tip do you have in your spray gun? Thanks
For adult, do we need to use more thick wood? For support adults weight?
Holds me!
Tyler, just one sugestion. Fix support for mattress. Let them not to move. Safety first.
They are all screwed down, just can't show everything in the videos.
Tyler G ach okey ten.
that is just perfect
Tyler G how is the bed still holding up after a year?
Nice job buddy !!!
I could never have a shop like this, I enjoy parking in my garage too much. (I’m assuming this is your garage).
What size mattress is this for? Twin?
Any reason why you opted for deck screws over lag screws?
It's not holding a tank, the deck screws will be more than adequate.
Can I make a loft bed in a mobile home? Is the wall from a mobile home strong enough for a loft bed?
I would be a little worried about it but...I have never had my own mobile home.
Thank u for answering my questions but I still want to know if a wall from a mobile home strong enough for a loft bed ?
Do you take contracts?
I could just smell the wood through the screen :))))))
Very nice project Tyler G, what would you recommend? in case that I don't have jointer and planner.
Roughly what is the weight capacity please?
Holds me just fine!
@@DIYTyler thank you!
Very cool!
@6:57 who's watching little man? Swoosh~Gravity and Wind being sinister again. Boy vanished without a peep.
Judt curious, do you use helical heads on your jointer and planer?
As always great video Tyler. I have 2 questions for you. First what kind of table saw do you have? And second what type of Merrell shoes are those? I now use the tool pouch that you have, when I'm in my shop, it is very handy and I love it, thank you for that tip. I very much enjoy watching your videos so thank you and keep them coming.
Have an older contractor style Delta table saw. And I don't know what type, Merrell hiking shoes, they are great!
Thanks Tyler. I am going to be upgrading my table saw shortly to Delta from Lowe's. I currently have a Craftsman one that I got for Christmas over 10 years ago.
Great project Tyler! Thanks for sharing it with us.😎👍JP
I browse many sites and videos looking for a perfect fit for my children room, I'm planing to keeping this a couple of years, how many pounds so you think this loft bed can handle? My son is only 39 pounds, but probably in 3-4 year will be double. Did you think that will work? Nice job btw and thank you!
Victor, I can get up there and it doesn't move at all! Should be plenty for your son. Best of luck and thanks for the sub!

Hope I might have helped a bit!
Nice.
Great video and thanks for sharing - I noticed you have the ridgid cordless router - are you happy with it ? Seemed perfect for this type of project
Use it all the time! Packs a punch!
Wow your wife is so lucky
Excelente 👍 very nice 👍😎 CDMX.
Can the bed holds an adult ?
I mean when you screw it to the wall with just small screw can it holds an adult or need to use bolts ?
I could never-
That is great project for the MAN CHILD. I wonder if THE WIFE has a clever nickname for you.
I admit that I felt a bit of clamp envy when you pulled out the big parallel clamp. I have some long pipe clamps and I remember that they are a pain in the neck to store; my envy faded away.
What happened to the bunk beds you built for your kids?
It's still in use....downstairs!
Traducido en espa español x favor
top, what wood used in this project?
Ash
That is a lot of wood for $40, even rough. How many bf did you end up with?
GOSTEI MUITO EXCELENTE PARABÉNS
great
I need to go tool shopping, this hammer and wrench aint gonna do it. Lol
au final ça n'a pas l'air très solide, je pense qu'il veut plus montrer son matériel en réalité!
Geez. I don’t have a workshop
Olive Moskal my dad makes his things in our garden..
جميل عمل روعه 👮👍
Subd!! Dude what your doin is cool tho
That ceiling fan will take him out
